Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process of producing drinking straw in the field of industrial engineering.
- the process of producing scented drinking straw has started by introducing a FDA approved scented oil into the drinking straw extrusion process.
- the first problem was that the scented oil boiled and gave a burned smell at the temperature of between 150-250 degrees Celsius during normal operation of the extruder.
- the second problem was that the extruder lost its pressure since the properties of the scented oil reduced the friction inside the extruder.
- the result was that none of or very few polypropylene plastic came out from the extruder even though the production was operated at normal production speed of 20-50 Kg per hour.
- the scented oil has been developed into scented compound.
- the scented compound is produced from the mixture of polypropylene plastic and the FDA approved scented oil. Theoretically, introducing scented compound into the extruder would allow the building up of pressure whilst melting polypropylene plastic and scented oil. However, this method was proved unsuccessful due to the same three problems as mentioned above were encountered.
- a method of scenting a polyolefin with a scent-imparting material to form master pellets that can be used to scent larger quantities of polyolefins is known from document US-A-3 505 432 .
- the general purpose of the present invention is to provide a process of producing scented drinking straw by introducing scented polypropylene compound into the polypropylene mixture at the beginning of the drinking straw extrusion process through a color-feed typed dosing system. It ensures that the scented drinking straw produced from the process will deliver an independent and long-lasting scent which will not evaporate or rub off easily since the scented oil has incorporated into the polypropylene plastic used for producing scented drinking straw.
- the process of producing scented drinking straw starts when two grades of polypropylene plastic are mixed together at a ration of 5-25% Copolymers and 75-95% of Homo-polymers.
- This polypropylene mixture which will be referred to as base mixture, is then pushed through a metal barrel by a metal screw pushing the mixture through between 2-8 heating zones melting the mixture in stages before entering the extrusion process at a rate of 40 kilograms per hour.
- the optional color pigment in the form of master-batch can be introduced into the base mixture if a certain color drinking straw is required.
- This master-batch can be introduced at the beginning of the extrusion process through a color-feed typed dosing system. This dosing system can be adjusted from 0-999 rpm.
- scented polypropylene compound is introduced into the base mixture at the beginning of the extrusion process through said dosing system.
- the compound of which containing 5-10% scented oil is made of a mixture of polypropylene plastic and FDA approved scented oil plus additives.
- the amount of the compound introduced through the dosing system can be adjusted at a rate of 1.4-3.5 kilograms per hour depending on the strength of scent desired.
- the amount of the compound incorporated in the finished drinking straw is between 1-20%.
- the scented polypropylene compound introduced into the extrusion process will not give a burned smell of boiled scented oil, which will happen when introducing scented oil into the process. This is because the boiling point of the compound is higher than the temperature of a normal operation of the extruder used in the extrusion process, and that of the scented oil. Also, introducing the compound into the base mixture at the beginning of the extrusion process will bring the subsequent mixture to a suitable stage that will sustain optimal pressure and friction for the function of the extruder. In addition, introducing the compound, which is in a form of solid, will enhance the control of the amount of scented oil introduced into the extrusion process since the amount of scented oil in the compound is stable.
- the subsequent mixture of the scented polypropylene compound and base mixture is extruded out as a long continuous plastic drinking straw containing scent.
- the extruded drinking straw is then proceeding to the cutting process for a desired length depending on the length required for finished product.
- the length, weight and diameter are compared to standard specification.
- the drinking straws are transported and fed through corrugation and wrapping process, quality control and assurance process, and finally, packaging process before they are transported to the warehouse.
- An example of the actual process of producing scented drinking straw is a batch production for producing 1000 pieces of scented drinking straws with 4 mm. in diameter, 165 mm, in length and a wall thickness of 0.2 mm. This batch production will use 475 grams of base mixture and 37.66 grams of scented polypropylene compound in the process.
